Facebook Integration and Lead Management

Integrating your CRM with Facebook can significantly enhance your lead management capabilities by streamlining the process of capturing and managing leads from Facebook ads. This guide will walk you through the steps to effectively manage leads generated through your Facebook campaigns. By following these instructions, you will ensure a seamless connection between your CRM and Facebook, leading to more efficient lead tracking and follow-up.

Accessing Integration Settings

  • Navigate to the CRM settings.
  • Go to the 'Integrations' section.

Connecting to Facebook

  • Ensure you're logged into your Facebook account.
  • Click 'Connect' and then choose 'Edit Settings' instead of 'Continue' to select specific pages for integration.
  • After selecting the desired pages and permissions, finalize the connection.

Verifying the Integration

  • Sometimes, the integration may not show immediately. Refresh your page to see the updated status.

Managing Facebook Leads

Once the integration is complete, the next step is to manage leads generated from Facebook.

Creating a Facebook Ad

  • Go to Facebook Ad Manager to create a lead generation campaign.
  • Select lead generation campaign.
  • Create a lead form within the ad, including fields such as first name, last name, phone, and email.

Mapping Form Fields

  • Return to the CRM and find the newly created form under Facebook form filled mapping.
  • Ensure the field mapping is correctly set up to match the CRM fields with the form fields.

Setting Up Automation

  • Create a new trigger for when the Facebook form is submitted.
  • Configure the actions to update opportunities, add a contact tag, and include the lead in a nurturing campaign.

Notification and Follow-Up

  • Add an action to send SMS or email notifications to the account owner or a specified number/email.
  • Utilize custom values to personalize the notification content.

Once your Facebook integration is established and lead management processes are set up, you will be equipped to efficiently handle and nurture leads generated from your Facebook ad campaigns. Regularly verify the integration, map form fields accurately, and configure triggers and notifications to optimize your lead management. 

Troubleshooting Tips

Integration Not Showing

  • If the integration doesn't appear immediately, try refreshing the page or rechecking your Facebook settings.

Form Mapping Issues

  • Ensure that the form fields in Facebook match the fields in the CRM. Incorrect mapping can lead to data loss.

Trigger Configuration

  • Double-check trigger settings to ensure leads are correctly categorized and entered into the appropriate nurturing campaigns.
